I think he loves the gameplay, but just doesn't like what he feels is pretty much buying the same game over and over. Personally I find the new weapons, bosses, and levels (and occasional new thing aside from that added) enough to get me to want to play the game. However, I will admit that lately I have qualms about actually buying these games full price. I wait until it's about the price of a cheap PC game expansion and then buy it usually, unless it's something really different and catches my interest. In this case, I'll be getting all the NES Megaman games I missed out on (and one I made the mistake of trading away, Megaman 3, for Ultima Exodus when I was a kid, because I figured once I had MM4 I'd never want to play MM3 again, though time has prooven me wrong...). Well, went off topic there, as per usual. Anyway, I can fully see why OB1 would get bored of the reptition. It's just a matter of how much "new" you want I suppose, and there's nothing wrong with high standards. Gaming IS an expensive hobby after all.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
